1283 Chapter 1283

The news that Citigroup was willing to provide guarantees and provide funds caused a sensation in the market.

That's nine billion dollars.

But after thinking about it, investors and the media felt that this was actually normal. After all, Li Changheng had already controlled Citigroup, and his experience of never failing for many years was indeed enough to make other shareholders of Citigroup willing to take a gamble.

Then someone from the United States really jumped out, accusing that this guarantee may have ulterior secrets.

Otherwise, why is the loan interest rate lower than half of the normal interest rate?

Li Changheng casually put the newspaper by the dining table, smiled and said to Annie who was sitting beside him, "Shall I order some silk cheongsams or dresses for you?"

Annie's heart moved, but she looked down at her body that had not fully recovered, and her expression changed immediately.

The frightened Li Changheng hurriedly opened the mouth and said, "Honey, after you gave birth to Angela, you were able to recover within 4 months, so this time there must be no problem.

Maybe when Angela and I get back, she'll think Mom is prettier, right, Angela? "

Angela, who was holding a steamed bun with her chopsticks, nodded with a busy smile, "Mummy is so good, she will definitely lose weight and become beautiful."

After hearing this, Li Changheng covered his forehead. Sure enough, after hearing this, Annie put down her knife and fork and looked at Angela with a smile and asked, "Honey, what do you mean, Mommy is not beautiful now, but still fat?"

Angela was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. She rolled her eyes, pointed at Li Changheng and said, "Mum, this is what Daddy said. I just repeated it."

After finishing speaking, he put down his chopsticks, jumped off the chair and shouted, "I'm full, I'm going to see my brother."

Looking at Angela, who was running fast with short legs, Li Changheng's hair was black, and he grabbed the hand of Annie, who had a strange smile, "Honey, I suddenly want to exercise, exercise, why don't we go out to sea for a day today?"

When she heard about sports, sports, and going to sea, Annie still didn't understand the meaning of these words.

He gave Li Changheng a blank look, "Louis can't find me, so he will definitely be crying again and again."

Li Changheng immediately understood what his wife meant, put down his chopsticks, walked to Annie with a smile, picked her up with both hands, and walked to a small room on the third floor.

At noon, Angela sneaked open the door of the study and walked to Li Changheng's side, grabbed his hand and shook it, "Daddy, is Mommy still angry with me?"

Li Changheng, who was reading the document, smiled, hugged Angela and said, "Don't worry, don't worry about papa letting your mommy go all the time, but if daddy is really angry, your mommy won't dare to mess with me."

Angela was taken aback, looked suspiciously at her proud father, and thought carefully, "Daddy, will you take me hunting?"

Now it was Li Changheng's turn to be surprised. His son was timid and loved to cry. He would cry non-stop if he didn't see Annie when he woke up.

And her daughter is not only very interested in martial arts, but now she actually wants to go hunting with her. Is this a mistake?

No, it's not the wrong birth, but it shouldn't be a girl.

Seeing Li Changheng frowning, Angela immediately thought that he was not agreeing, she smiled and leaned on his shoulder and muttered, "Next time you go hunting without me, I will tell Mommy that you speak ill of her."

Li Changheng's face froze, and he started to tickle Angela's waist angrily.

For a while, the study room was full of giggles, and then Angela's voice begging for mercy.

——

Three days later, when Li Changheng was hugging Louis and taking Annie and Angela for a walk, the housekeeper Meryl came over with a satellite phone, "Sir, it's Mr. Abagnale's call."

Li Changheng handed Louis to Annie, answered the phone and said, "Have you checked?"

"As you guessed, the people who jumped out to make trouble this time are indeed the people from Shell and the North Sea Oilfield."

Li Changheng snorted coldly in his heart, England Gas Company had been using natural gas from the Netherlands and the North Sea oil fields before, after all, they were close, and they did have an advantage in terms of cost.

Comparable to cartel natural gas, the mere fact that there are no middlemen is enough to offset any cost.

Besides, Li Changheng himself is a shareholder of Mobil, and has a good cooperative relationship with Rockfield and Mobil for many years. In the future, the natural gas extracted from the Katel oil and gas field will first of all cooperate with Mobil.

But this is tantamount to not only grabbing the market of Shell and North Sea oil fields, but also helping their competitors create more profits.

Even once U.S. float relies on natural gas to expand its market in England, it will be able to expand its crude oil market in England and Europe.

This is probably the last thing the North Sea oilfields and Shell want to see.

Moreover, Shell is the first oil company to use and prepare to vigorously develop the utilization rate of natural gas.

The reason is simple. There is too little oil in Europe, and the competition in other places follows the expansion of the United States in the energy field, but it cannot compete with the major oil companies in the United States.

Not to mention other things, the United States already occupies at least half of the crude oil share in desert areas alone.

In North America, except for a few countries that have extremely poor relations with the United States, the crude oil market is basically the backyard of the Americans.

As a last resort, Shell will of course look for new energy markets, and natural gas has become the first choice.

Now that Li Changheng is aggressively entering the field that the opponent is optimistic about, competition is inevitable.

After thinking about it, he told Frank into the microphone, "You inform Taylor and announce the weapon order.

However, at the same time as the announcement, it is emphasized that these contracts were facilitated by the US government, understand? "

"Understood," Frank grinned, "Dude, are you so optimistic that Elephant will be re-elected?"

Benjamin Arthur was lucky enough to be the general manager for two and a half years, and then received the support of Li Changheng and other capital and forces, and was re-elected for another 4 years.

If you count his predecessor, it means that the elephant has been in the manor for 12 years.

The conclusion given by several major consulting organizations is that most of the middle voters have fallen to the donkey party.

The only question is whether the candidate chosen by the donkey can be recognized by these intermediate voters.

Li Changheng frowned and thought for a while before saying, "You should know why I hid here in London."

Frank, who was far away in New York, put away his smile and nodded seriously, "Are you worried that if the donkey comes to power, it will become capital for some people to attack you?"

"It's not worry, but affirmation," Li Changheng sighed, "In the past, some politicians in the U.S. wouldn't have jumped out at me for the sake of two oil companies outside the U.S.

So we have to fight back, and the best way to fight back is to elect another one of us to power.

Tell Andre and Randall I need their support.

If they have no problem with Francis Wood, then call Francis to New York to prepare. "

"clear".
